The only reason I thought it might increase sound is because it would be making the trunk pretty much a second box

My question is will sealin the trunk off from the cab make it louder if my subs are not at all in the cab

Ya spl I'm at work but will upload photos later

hey smd members, so im a bit of a newb here on the forums but i was wondering if it will benifit to spray foam/ seal my trunk off if my subs are facing up in the trunk, and port is firing towards the trunk... also its an rx-8 so the back seats dont fold down, just the space in between them... any advice would be awesome!

more photos as promised just painted the calipers last night, total 6 hours spent on them, including sand, scotch pad and paint/coats Battery sub in trunk plexi interior wall amp and box

Okay guys, so heres some pics of the car, amp and screen... i had to re order my subs since my credit card didn't work, so ill put pics up once they arrive. 5% tint all around, tinted taillights deck- Alpine iva-d106 subs- (5)re audio SEX 10" d4 amps- (1) alpine mrp-m2000 (1) alpine mrp-m500 wiring - Stinger 0 gauge

subs will be in on friday, going to carpet the box once they get here and i cut the holes out.

box is 6.26 cubes, port is tuned at 34.5 hz 8" x 4" 7 inchs deep

right in the middle of the box opposit of the plexi

Hey so i finally made the upgrade on my subs since i put the car away for winter. Im upgrading to 5 10" D4 re SEX sub woofers, and i am going to be running 2500 watts, my current amp (Alpine mrp-m2000) as well as a alpine mrp-m500... i just ordered the subs, so hopefully i will get them this weekend and finish the install. i have already built the box, just need to cut the baffle boards holes as i am going to carpet the box. I took a lot of advice from my other box builds and have made same MAJOR improvements. I will be purchasing a battery, but that will happen more near Christmas time. the box is tuned at 34.5 hz, and its 6.26 cubes. with a square port.purt is trunk firing and plexi is on the side facing my interior

and yeah i would like to see a video of them.

yep they go hard for the price... and at least now when i get new woofers i have a half decent amp to power them with.

i fixed the electrical issue, my power wire was loose from the battery, so it was only getting partial power. cap is steady at 12 -12.5 volts.

i used WAYYYYY less screws to put things into proportion... i had one every 1/2 inch on the old one and this one was one every 2-3 inches... its just over 4.1 cubes but with the subs it comes out to just above four.as far as bracing, i will keep that in mind for my next one, once again im only 18 and the only way im going to learn is from experience, Ive never worked in a car audio shop or anything.... mind you its not like half of them even know what they are talking about.

built a new box, figured out my electrical issues as well... just a loose connection at the battery, its going strong now. lemme know your opinions on the new box. tuned @ 38 hzyes construction grade may be a little excessive, but better safe than sorry.

no leaks siliconed them as i put them in and hole where hard to ge tthe wires through to begin with (tight)

i did pre drill.. but yeah next box i will use less screws... best way of learning is from experience and what others say about it.

IH8punkrock... the video is before i took the box out and painted it, i sound deadened my trunk... forgot to put pics up but will soon.

cap is only temporary till i get my new alternator and new battery/batteries. and they sound good... and i only used so many screws because i had tried to make a box but it fell apart so i put more screws in rather have to many than too few, especially since its in such a small place where i would have little access to do box repair. plus im only 18 and its the second box I've ever built. Video (UNEDITED)

here are more pictures screen Amp I also tinted my tail lights, and my windows, 5% all around.

Hey smd members, so this is my first build, not done yet still need electrical upgrades and speakers. 2 12 inch pioneer premier champion series pro sub woofers 1 alpine mrp-m2000 2000 watt rms amplifier 1 alpine Iva-d106 touch screen stinger 0 gauge wiring kit stinger 1 farad digital cap this is the inside of the box and the back of the subs. outside of box side and back of box / cap woofers inside of box

hey Steve, I'm a new member on SMD. Just got a quick question, what kind of flip out(single din) touch screen would you recommend, I cant fit a double in my car so a single's the best i can do. Any advice would be appreciated! Also what 2000 watt amp would you recommend. I'm running two pioneer champion series pro 12's off a kicker zx1000.1 and i know they want more power. thanks!
